“Immunizations are one of the most important ways to protect individuals, families and communities against serious infectious diseases and their consequences.At Sun Life Family Health Center, our family practice and pediatric teams haveimplemented and maintained an aggressive recall system to ensure our young patients are current with their immunizations,” said Travis J. Robinette, Sun Life’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to have achieved this goal at both our Eloy office and Center for Women and Children.”

Over the past fifteen years, The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI) and it's more than 500 supporters have worked together for the common goal of improving rates of immunization for infants in Arizona. The dedication of health-minded corporations, local and state government agencies, community groups, and individuals has proven invaluable as the goal of 90% immunization coverage for Arizona's 2 year-olds becomes a reality.

As of January 1, 2001, TAPI became The Arizona Partnership for Immunization (TAPI), expanding its mission to not only address immunization issues for children but for Arizonans of all ages. Not only was 2001 a new millennium and a new name for TAPI, but also a new award was introduced. This award, in honor of TAPI's Chairperson, Dr. Daniel T. Cloud, was introduced for practices or clinics reaching 90% immunization coverage levels for their 2-year old populations.
